Democrats Push Back on Trump’s Claim Iran Possesses Tomahawk Missiles 📲🔥

Senate Democratic Leader Blasts Trump’s ‘Iran Tomahawk’ Claim, Demands Probe Into Deadly School Strike

 

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer sharply rejected claims by Donald Trump that Iran could have been responsible for a deadly missile strike on a girls’ school using a Tomahawk missile, calling the statement “absurd” and demanding an independent investigation.

Speaking on March 11, Schumer criticized Trump for suggesting that Tehran might possess Tomahawk missile and could have used it in the attack.

“Donald Trump said Iran’s Tomahawk missile carried out the strike on a girls’ school that killed 170 people, many of them children,” Schumer said. “Iran doesn’t have Tomahawk missiles, Donald Trump. That claim is ridiculous.”

The attack devastated the Shajarah Tayyebeh Girls’ Elementary School in Hormozgan province on February 28, the same day the United States and Israel launched airstrikes against Iran. The missile strike destroyed the school and killed at least 175 people, most of them students.

Iran quickly blamed the United States, displaying missile fragments recovered from the scene.

 One piece reportedly carried the marking “SDL ANTENNA,” a component linked to satellite data communication systems used in the latest Tomahawk missile variants. Identification numbers on the fragment allegedly show the part was supplied to the U.S. military under a 2014 procurement order.

Another fragment displayed by Iranian state media bore the label “Globe Motors – Made in the USA.”

Despite the evidence presented by Tehran, Trump said on March 9 that Iran “also has some Tomahawks” and suggested the possibility that Iranian forces might have been responsible for the strike. However, he did not provide any proof.
